383Dreams
Newbie
Hello everyone! I am hoping to refresh our 97' Silverado 5.7 Vortec, but I am a bit stumped on the cam. I want something to get out into traffic as fast as possible, though rarely will be above 4k rpm, and no towing to speak of. A mild lope would be sweet, but I don't want to have to change the stock torque converter or multi-port EFI. I am planning to up it to a 383 lower end. This is a shopping list I have put together with the help of Jegs so far. Feel free to improve my choices!
